About Us
We are establishing a new UK-registered charity dedicated to advancing health and education initiatives in Bangladesh. Our focus is on grassroots impact: building sustainable health programs, improving educational access, and empowering communities.

The Role
We are now recruiting a Charity Administrator to join us on a 12-month fixed-term contract, with the potential for extension. This remote, UK-based role will involve occasional in-person meetings and offers a unique opportunity to shape the operational foundations of a start-up charity from the ground up.

In this role, you will support the formal registration of the charity with the Charity Commission, helping to draft key documents and establish essential policies and procedures. You will be responsible for setting up basic administrative systems, coordinating trustee meetings and records, and ensuring ongoing compliance with regulatory requirements. The role also involves supporting communication with local partners in Bangladesh and external consultants, as well as assisting with the preparation of early-stage grant and donor applications.

We are looking for someone with proven experience in charity administration, ideally within a small or newly established organisation. A strong understanding of Charity Commission regulations, solid organisational skills, and confidence working independently in a flexible environment are essential. Experience with international development or an understanding of Bangladeshi culture would be a bonus, but not essential.

If you are passionate about building something meaningful from the ground up and want to contribute to lasting change, we would love to hear from you. Please get in touch to express your interest or request further information.

To apply, please submit your CV in the first instance, as we are recruiting on a rolling basis. If your experience is suitable, we will send you the full job description and arrange a call to brief you on the role.

As a specialist Recruitment Practice, we are committed to building inclusive and diverse organisations, and welcome applications from all sections of the community. We invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you in your application.
